From the recording Undertones
Lyrics
You slept in a light sleep that any light could wake
Even the slightest of glows
In a shirt, it was your favorite, 1975
It was the Rolling Stones
It was your mother’s, you know you look like her
And have the same joyful tone
When you laugh, and make jokes, always the silliest ones
Making old phrases your own
It’s been a long road now and I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you all the time
It’s been a long road now, another loss of love, a shifting paradigm
You slept in a light sleep, if any pin dropped you’d hear
Oh and you looked so serene
Like you hadn’t had a good night, in the last two years
And now you’re finally dreaming again
But so quickly it had ended, right when you were finding peace
You said it felt like I’m dying
Starting over, no we both know not better than a hit in the head
And if you’re still thinking of me, know that
It’s been a long road now and I’m still thinking ‘bout you all the time
It’s been a long road now, another loss of love, a shifting paradigm
It’s been a long road now and I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you all the time
It’s been a long road now, another loss of love, a shifting paradigm
